Hi,
I'm looking to replace my Onkyo Receiver and found the Rotel RSX-1055 for $175. I don't know much about receivers and I'm hoping someone could tell me if this is worth for the price or not. I currently have RTi70, CSi 60 and SVS PB12 Plus connected to the Onkyo. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Pardon me if this is not the right room to post this. Please let me know if I should post my question in a different room.

    Thanks again Legender for your help, I was planning to cancel my meeting with the seller until I saw your comment and read the link. I just want to share with you how the transaction unfolded.

    After I introduced myself to Scot and chatted for a little bit, he went to grab the amp and to my surprise, came out with it the original shipping box when he bought it years ago.

    Turned out he kept everything that was included when he received it. I couldn't be any happier!

    As I was helping him pull the amp from the box, I was trying hard not show how happy I am about how this beast is in mint condition.

    When it was completely out of the box, I didn't need to see anymore. I shook the guys hand to seal the deal and pay the man his money. ;)

    While putting it back in the box, we were talking about the reason why he updated and why I'm trying to replace my Onkyo. Scot was cool enough to throw in this Airport Express with the deal after he heard that my 18 years old son and my 10 years old daughter love to plug their phones to the stereo and listen to their music. His new amp came with a built in WiFi and Bluetooth and he has no use for this so wanted me to have it. I just bought a very expensive used Airport Express that came with a As I was helping him pull the amp from the box, I was trying hard not show how happy I am about how this beast is in mint condition.
    It can not get any better than this! You're pretty awesome Scot! Thanks Bro!
